The Powerball jackpot rolled over to $148 million after no winners matched the six numbers drawn Wednesday night.
The winning numbers were: 26-35-16-52-58-Powerball 02. Three people -- in Kentucky, Montana and Pennsylvania -- matched five numbers but not the Powerball and will receive $200,000 apiece.
The last Powerball jackpot winner was Sept. 14, when the $25 million prize went to a Lithonia woman who had been handed a $1 ticket other than the one she requested.
The next drawing will be Saturday night. A winner choosing the cash option for the new jackpot amount would receive a one-time payment of $90.4 million before taxes.
The current jackpot is far short of the top Powerball prize, $365 million, won on Feb. 18, 2006 by a Nebraskan.
The jackpot for Mega Millions, the other multi-state lottery, is currently $48 million. The next drawing is Friday night.
